I was having a problem with this on my daughter's return. She's a 23-year-old grad student, does not own a business or have business/self-employment income, no 1099-MISCs, does not have interest/dividend/investment income of any kind (because she has no investments and her bank account does not pay interest) so no 1099-DIVs/INTs, no carryforwards, etc. etc. Absolutely nothing on the 8995 was applicable, period. All the fields TT insisted on populating were 0. Yet every time I told TT to delete the form, it was immediately re-created, and was being included among the forms needed for filing her federal return despite all those 0s .
Eventually I tracked it down to some "QBI worksheet" that TT was referring to, which had no entries at all AFAICT. When I told TT to delete that worksheet, the bogus 8995 disappeared as well. This seems like a bug to me. If the worksheet is empty, the form should not even be generated, let alone included for filing.
